Portrait of a shirtless black man with dreadlocks tied back, captured outdoors against a soft green foliage background.

Spencer Murphy, Photographer, London

About

This vertical portrait features a shirtless black man with locs tied back into a semi-updo, with loose strands framing his face. His expression is serious and direct as he gazes forward. The lighting is soft and natural, illuminating his shoulders and face against an out-of-focus background of dense green foliage. The composition captures a candid, observational quality with natural colour tones. The work was photographed by Spencer Murphy in London.
